Not A Princess (Sequel to Princess Of The Underworld)

16| The Fight

  "Now!" I yelled at Carlos. He then slingshot one of the smoke bombs onto the ship, a cloud of color appearing in front of the pirates.

  I then caught a sword that Lonnie had tossed to me, preparing to take on the pirates.

  "Hadey!" I looked over at Mal, who was passing a sword to her girlfriend, "You and me against Uma."

  I nodded at her, getting ready to head towards the ship, but I was stopped by someone grabbing my wrist.

  I whirled around, coming face to face with Ben, "Ben? What-"

  He cut me off, "Just be careful, okay?" He asked as he tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear.

I nodded at him, looking into his green eyes before running over towards my best friend, sword in hand.

  One of the pirates snuck up behind Mal, ready to attack, but I quickly pushed him out of the way, him falling over the railing into the water.

  Mal turned around to face me, a small smile on her face, "Thanks for having my back."

  I smirked at her, "What are sisters for?"

  We both then got our swords ready, making our way towards the captain, dodging all the pirates as they ran towards us.

  Uma finally stepped forward, pulling her sword from her belt, "Finally come out to play...Shrimpy?" I asked, she growled, striking her sword at me, though I easily dodged it.

   Mal swung at Uma, while I slid underneath them, appearing behind Uma, taking a swing at her myself.

  Uma then held her sword horizontally, successfully blocking both Mal and I's swings. I hate to say it, but Uma was good.

    Mal them grabbed ahold of the green-haired girl's sword, pulling it towards her. Uma retailed by pulling her sword towards herself, making Mal fall backwards where I caught her.

   "Thanks." Mal told me and I nodded, ducking down, with Mal still in my arms as Uma pointed her sword at us.

  Mal then blocked Uma's downwards swing with her own sword, and was able to push it up so now Uma was the one bending backwards.

   I cast a glance up to see that Gil was swinging in towards Ben, Mal followed my gaze.

  "Go." My best friend urged, grunting as Uma's sword escaped her grasp, "I got this!"

   I nodded, quickly climbing up onto the dock railing. Carlos then appeared beside me, pushing a pirate backwards into the water.

  The De Vil boy looked up at me, "Need a boost?"

  I smiled at the boy, before placing my foot into his cupped hands and jumping into the air, successfully grabbing a rope that had been swinging from the ship.

   I swung forwards, jumping off the rope and landing in a roll. I then slid in between Ben and Gil, successfully stopping Gil's sword from striking Ben.

   I chuckled at Gaston's son, "Sorry Gil, but you're not really my type." I then kicked Gil's legs out from underneath him, causing him to fall to the ground.

  "Wait." I glanced over at Ben who had a shocked look on his face, "That's the guy you dated? Gaston's son?"

  I slowly nodded, not seeing what he was getting at.

  He creased his forehead before kicking Gil's side, causing the blonde boy to let own a moan.

   I looked up at the King in shock, he wiped a patch of dirt off his cheek before shrugging at me, "For good measure."

I opened my mouth to say something, but was cut off by Mal yelling at us to get moving.

  "Go, go, go!" Jay yelled at us, as everyone piled through the tunnel and back towards the car.

   I stood next to Mal as she pushed the bridge off, making it tumble into the water so Uma and her gang couldn't follow us.

  I grabbed Mal's hand, taking one last look at the dock, before running towards the car.
